Scopus is the most comprehensive multi-disciplinary database of peer-reviewed literature. Also good for citation analysis.

Other useful Resources

Electronic and Physcial Books

EngineeringPro from Books24x7 contains thousands of electronic books from top publishers. Defaults to searching both EngineeringPro and ITPro, but you can use the drop down menu to limit to either collection.

Journals from physics organizations

SPIN, part of AIP's Scitation platform, searches every journal published by the American Institute of Phyiscis and affiliated organizations in Russia and the Ukraine. You can also search Scitation which is less oriented towards physics.

IOPscience searches every journal published by the Institute of Phyiscs.
